From Suspended Figure Drawing

You can climb all day with the 15$ day-pass; however, Climbs & Lines will start at 7pm and go on for 2 hours (with short breaks in between). We’ll start with some warm ups and longer poses on the wall and in the air. You can finally draw models like you’ve never been able to (except from photographs). For 7-10min poses we will gradually transition to hybrid (some models on the ground and some suspended) and finally make our way back to the ground for the last longer poses (15-20min). We’ll wrap up around 9, show what we made, and maybe even climb together after! :) Drawing supplies, Bathrooms, Snacks and Water available For questions contact Zovi at @zoviism

Guided Mindful Walking in Nature - Central Park Edition Modified Version

Wed, Nov 11, 4:00 PM

From Shorewalkers: Members Only Group

4.9

**Though the body we move in nature, with our mind/consciousness we are part of nature.** **MINDFULNESS - the practice of maintaining a nonjudgemental state of heighted or complete awareness of one's thoughts, emotions or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis.** **MINDFUL WALKING - a practice that enhances mental clarity and reduces stress by fostering a deep connection with the present moment (the here and now) through awareness of each individual step and the Sight, Sound and Smell of the surrounding environment.** **Please read the below information carefully and take the time to view the myriads of videos available that explain the concept of Mindful Walking.** **Let me begin by thanking you for accompanying me on a work in progress to develop a methodology for teaching and leading a Mindful Walking workshop, my goal is to guide/lead the novice through an unfamiliar or complex procedure in a step-by-step process so that they can attain a basic level of skill and knowledge in the practice of Mindful Walking. Upon entering Central Park, we will commerce with a breathing and exercise session on the Wisteria Pergola of the Conservatory Garden. followed by several training practice walks that will introduce the attendees to the techniques of Mindful Walking.** **For the remainder of our Central Park adventure, we will alternate long bouts of conversation flowing walking sessions with shorter bouts of silent guided Mindful Walking sessions (which will transverse the natural scenic beauty of the Ravine in the North Woods and the Ramble).** **Because of the workshop nature of this event, I will limit the number of attendees to ten (10) people. My future vision for this method of training is to present many workshops for first timers, mixed with separate events for those adepts with the Mindful Walking concept. Furthermore, I will expand the range of this event to scenic natural locations (including waterside venues) around the Greater New York area.** **We are meeting at the** **Vanderbilt Gate (Between East 104th and East 105th** **Street on** **Fifth Avenue) across the from El Museo del Barrio. The** **nearest subway station is the East 103 Street and** **Lexington** **Avenue station of the #6** **Train.** **Our journey will end at the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, the closest subway station is the West 72nd stop of the B and C trains.** **Will be walking at a moderate (not slow) pace. The walk will last three hours and will cover about 4 miles. There will be ample restrooms stops and a 20-minute lunch break.** **Heavy rain/snow or other forms of extreme weather will cancel the walk. Please check this site for updates.** **LEADER: Bob Lazzaro email: rlazzaro4@aol.com.** **I will use a voice amplification device to foster better understanding and clarity between myself and attendees.**

Hiking the length of Manhattan from the North to South - 20 mile walk

Sat, Nov 7, 2:00 PM

From New York Backpackers

4.8

Let's walk or I guess "hike" the entire length of Manhattan from North to South. We will meet at the at 0900 at Mon Amour Coffee and Wine in Kingsbridge in The Bronx and walk all the way down to Staten Island ferry. We did this last year and it was such a blast so why not do it again! It is the day before the NYC marathon so perfect time do our own marathon at a slow poke pace. We will make stops for breakfast, lunch, beer or wine and dinner along the way. You can join in and out over the day but it is better if you come for the whole thing. Schedule that I am going to post is a rough one and we might be there earlier or later depending on our walking speed, etc. I will set up a WhatsApp chat the day before with live location if people want to catch up to us by subway or Citi bike. I picked a coffee shop in Kingsbridge so we could walk down to Marble Hill and start from the north border of Manhattan. Kingsbridge used to be an actual bridge that separated The Bronx from Manhattan until the Harlem River was landfilled and now it is just the neighborhood where the northern end of the bridge used to lie. The River itself was too shallow and narrow for boats so a canal was dug out on the southern end of Marble Hill turning Marble Hill briefly into an island until the river was landfilled on the north side. Marble Hill then became attached to The Bronx and became a Manhattan enclave in The Bronx. We will meet at Mon Amour Coffee and Wine at 0900 and start our walk, saunter or hike from there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/WTaRNkEZtiZUhtM77 **Rough schedule:** 9h00 Mon Amour Coffe and Wine next to the 238th St Station in The Bronx 9h45 Stop at Inwood Farms for brunch 11h00 Leave Inwood Farm 11h30 The Cloisters 14h00 Central Park North and Adam Clayton Powell 16h00 Playa Betty's for late lunch or early dinner 17h30 Leave Playa Betty's 19h30 Stop at Brass Monkey for drinks 20h30 Leave Brass Monkey 21h30 Arrive at the Staten Island Ferry 22h00 Dinner at Hey Thai on John St This is roughly a 20 mile walk. Bring a water bottle. Restaurants we stop at and bars will be happy to refill your bottle for you. Bring comfortable shoes. If you want bring two pairs of shoes and socks. Some people find it easier on their feet to switch shoes and socks halfway through. If we end up with a big crowd I would prefer to give priority to those who can commit to doing the whole thing. Last year we finished with 5 out of 20 while a group did the same thing and everyone in their group finished. Commitment would be awesome!!!
